Nine Professional Education students of the Central Mindanao
Colleges College of Teacher Education completed their Field Study 1 and 2 at
Saguing National High School, culminating in an Exit Program on September 2,
2026 and marking another important milestone in their preparation for the
teaching profession.
The Field Study experience gave the students direct exposure to
the realities of classroom life. Through observation, interaction, and guided
participation, they gained a closer understanding of the patience, preparation,
professional responsibility, and commitment required of teachers in creating
meaningful learning experiences.
Completing the Field Study journey were Wendy V. Palero, Renz
Allan V. Mangaron, Karen Jane A. Parba, Almayra B. Baroa, Quennie E. Salem,
Cristine Mae C. Batomalaque, Catherine B. Frias, Florryjen L. Manampol, and
Christine Loren P. Mequila.
Under the guidance of Dr. Mark Gennesis Dela Cerna, the
students were given opportunities to connect concepts from their professional
education courses with actual classroom situations. His mentorship, guidance,
and encouragement supported the students as they developed a clearer
understanding of the demands, responsibilities, and purpose of the teaching
profession.
CMC extends its appreciation to Saguing National High School
for welcoming the students and providing an environment where they could
observe teaching practices, interact with learners, and learn from practicing
educators.
The College likewise recognizes Mr. Earl Abad, School
Principal, for opening the school to the Field Study students and supporting
their learning experience. Appreciation is also extended to the Cooperating
Teachers, whose classroom practices, professional insights, and guidance gave
the students valuable lessons that could not be gained from textbooks alone.
The students also expressed their gratitude to the learners who
welcomed them into their classrooms and to their fellow Field Study classmates
who shared in the challenges, reflections, and memorable moments of the
experience.
More than the completion of an academic requirement, Field
Study 1 and 2 served as a vital bridge between theory and actual practice. It
allowed the future educators to observe how teachers respond to learner needs,
manage classrooms, prepare lessons, and carry the professional responsibilities
expected in the school setting.
The experience advances SDG 4: Quality Education through
practice-based teacher preparation, SDG 5: Gender Equality through the
promotion of inclusive and equitable learning environments, and SDG 17:
Partnerships for the Goals through the collaboration between Central Mindanao
Colleges and Saguing National High School in preparing future educators.
With their Field Study journey completed, the nine CMC students
leave Saguing National High School with more than observations and classroom
experiences. They carry forward lessons, professional insights, and a deeper
appreciation of the responsibility that comes with becoming a teacher.
Field Study 1 and 2 may be complete, but the journey of
becoming an educator continues with greater purpose, preparation, and
commitment to the learners they will one day serve.
Choose CMC, where excellence roars.
